A flambuoyant shotstopper and fans` favourite, Andy Rhodes was the Dunfermline goalkeeper between 1990 and 1992 in the Scottish Premier League, which included an appearance in the 1991 Scottish League Cup Final. Andy joined from Oldham Athletic and moved to St Johnstone in 1992.
Andy left school at 15 to sign at Barnsley as an apprentice. Having been at a rugby only school, his only chance to show his abilities were on a Sunday. That however, was enough for the then manager Allan Clarke and he signed Andy for two years.
Andy`s progress to the first was sudden, Barnsley`s regular keeper was injured and when an on loan keeper was ruled out, Andy was brought in to face Walsall away from home. Although Barnsley lost 1-0, Andy impressed enough to retain his place for the return leg of the League Cup tie. When he again played well the on-loan keeper was sent packing and Andy took over between the sticks for the rest of the season keeping our regular keeper Gary Pearce.
Doncaster Rovers paid Barnsley £25,000 in November 1985 and after Hibs took Andy Goram from Oldham Athletic, the Lancashire club signed Andy Rhodes in March 1987 as his replacement.
Andy was highly acclaimed for his performance in the Oldham side defeated 1-0 by Nottingham Forest at Wembley in the 1990 Littlewoods Cup Final.
On 11th July 1990 Andy signed for Dunfermline for a fee of £80,000. He made 79 league appearances and famously in the 1991 Skol Cup final at Hampden v Hibernian.
On 11th July 1990 Andy signed for Dunfermline by Iain Munro with a fee of £80,000 being paid to Oldham Athletic. After 79 league games and several important cup appearances that culminated in the 1991 Skol Cup final, Andy left in June 1992 to join St Johnstone in a deal, totalling £300,000, that saw Lindsay Hamilton and Roddy Grant move to the Pars.
Andy went on to become an accomplished goalkeeping coach serving at Oldham for two years, Ipswich Town for four years, Preston North End for two and Sheffield Wednesday for eight years.
He is the father of Scotland international striker Jordan Rhodes.
